wow finally
this is a great game. nice to see a game that finally lets you use you're own music in the game and even changes depending on the song. and its nice to play Caramelldansen in a game like this. now all i need is mass destruction....... but it is kind of disappointing that we have to go to another website to have access to more stuff but that's a small annoyance. anyway great game.
Hello ufojoe, glad that you like the game! Thanks!
Good game, but bad "host"
Sincerely: WHY Mochimedia?! Those guys are mean and dumb, not forgetting that they block you from downloading the Flash Game to save in your PC, thus forcing you to get online to play it.
As for their dumb... Funny story, I criticized Mochimedia aggressively and in the response e-mail, even though it was polite, they eded with:
"Please, give us your Mochimedia Username just so we can ban you."
Hey tsukiyomaru0, thanks for liking the game! We used mochi mainly because of the live updates system, where we can update our game to add features and fix bugs no matter where the game spreads to. It's a great feature that that offer, and there are not many other options for this functionality, do you happen to know of some that you can recommend? I believe you should be able to save the game to your PC, I successfully did that. If not why not download the PC version of Shmusicup to play instead? Head over to www.shmusicup.com to get it! Thanks!
PS. the response by mochimedia was funny!
Cool Concept
I enjoyed this flash very much i thought it was pretty cool how your mp3's govern how the boss attacks which actually is cool because well, i've never seen that idea before, Of course at first my thoughts were how the hell am i supposed to avoid all those bullets but then i caught onto the concept that your only damaged if it hits that light in the middle of your character ( Or so i believe) either way cool game,however i have a one question which would be , Does the length of your mp3 govern the Length of the boss's healthbar? If not i woudl think it'd be cool if it did because i mean i could pick like a 4 minute song and get like a 40k Score whereas someone could pick like through the fire and the flames by dragon force and got god knows how many points lol (Considering overdrive mode) Either way cool game and nice job
Hi ngmastergamer, great that you enjoyed Shmusicup! Yes, the life of the boss is proportionate to the length of the mp3. Good to hear that you are getting the hang of shoot'em ups as well!
Quite Great
The Gameplay:I played it like I played Bullet Heaven and it wasn't too awesome(even though the mp3 using system is awesome because I rarely see any game has that feature),but the only flaw is that when you get the Level 4 upgrade of the bullets,shooting sideways seems really bad because it only hits when you shoot at the middle of the boss(in the boss).
the graphics wasn't too extraordinary,not bad either.It's a good thing the background changes between levels.However,I found it to be laggy on very slow computers,so I think an option to lower the game quality(like most flash games have)would be lag reducing.
the controls were never a problem to me.never.except the absence of the mouse control makes the game a little bad because I like using the mouse rather than the keyboard(Of course if you do make mouse controls try to limit the speed!).
Other suggestions:Make an option to change whether the background moves or not since i'm sure this is a cause of lag.
It would be better if the characters had more than one ability(example:the bombs can reflect the bosses/enemies bullets rather than just the bomb taking all the bullets.Add this to every single character so no mode will be less played.
This also might be a good reason to add more characters.also try to make the bullet upgrades different for each character.
Make unlockable cheats(Heh....)and mods make really unfair cheats like infinite health causes the player not able to submit his/her score into the high score boards.On the other hand,mods that make the game harder like the bullets being invisible after launched by the enemy after a while.
Maybe if the keyboard controls were customizeable it would be better.
Of course make enemies before you fight the boss(or something like that).
Sorry for my maybe bad English.
Hey wapiti4, glad that you like the game! Great suggestions you have there! I particularly like the bombs and disappearing bullets idea, sounds fun! We will take note and look at more ways to improve the game, thanks for your feedback!
I didn't know you could do this in flash!
Wow I'm impressed at the potential this game has. You can totally add more bosses with their own atk patterns and possibly multiple difficulty levels so that ppl can complete songs that happen to be hard on easier difficulty.
Notes: when I finish a song, I see the score totaling thing which shows score for each bonus and the total and then I see all of those numbers become 0 before the total score screen shows up with just the total score. It would be nice if that was all on one screen so we know how to get more points.
Also, it would be nice to have a music progress bar that shows how much time is left.
Also it seems that the weapons upgrade that gives the diagonal shots are rather weak compared to the homing shots later and the straight shots earlier since they are less likely to hit. Maybe adding small minion enemies will balance this?
Also, would be nice to know relative difficulty of the different bosses.
Very promising game, hope to see future versions with more features.
Hi chen52808, thanks for your suggestions! We will take note of the points you raised and improve the game. Great that you like it!
